[Thread] 1. #Kubayi: We lost 47 500 #COVID vaccines during the #unrest (this has gone up since earlier this week) that were stolen or destroyed. 120 private pharmacies were destroyed.
2. #Kubayi: Most public vaccine sites in KZN were not damaged during the #unrest and this enabled us to resume vaccinations in KZN as quickly as possible.
3. In Gauteng there was minimum interruption to vaccinations because of the #unrest. But people did fear to go to certain sites. But the disruption in KZN and GT was not only to the vaccine programmes, but people were also not able to access chronic meds.
4. #Kubayi: All indications are that SA has passed its peak of the 3rd wave. But we remain concerned because of the potential impact that the #unrest will have on new #COVID cases emerging. We appeal to you: if you were in protest gatherings, please go and get tested.
5. #Kubayi: Quite a nr of people during the #unrest who were arrested and were then taken in by correctional services and tested positive for #COVID when they were taken in. We're dealing with those cases.
